word

I couldn't decide which of these 2 passages I should share today, so I included them both.

This is Paul writing his first letter to the followers of Jesus in Corinth.

I feel like Paul was talking about me in verses 27 & 28 😄



1 Corinthians 1

7 Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

8 He will keep you strong to the end 

so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. 

9 God will do this, 

for he is faithful to do what he says, 

and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.



26 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. 

27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. 

And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 

28 God chose things despised by the world, 

things counted as nothing at all, 

and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 

29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
